    You can install the Beta and other version using the Toolbox App. In the Toolbox click three-dots menu -> Other Versions.

    The option seems to be missing from Dolphin as well.

    For installing Android Studio itself you can use the Toolbox App as suggested by @viachaslau-tysianchuk.

    For installing SDK components from canary / dev / beta channels you can use the command line sdkmanager by specifying the --channel flag, like so:

    ./cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager --channel=1 "extras;google;auto"

    Note that the cmdline-tools are not installed by default, you should first install them via the old SDK tools or just download from here: https://developer.android.com/studio#cmdline-tools

    You can no longer switch channels from within Android Studio as of Chipmunk or Dolphin, instead you need to install the correct preview installer(beta/canary) from https://developer.android.com/studio/preview
